Pros

Health Benefits - that’s about it...

Cons

Be Prepared to be treated like a number, a headcount per say. You are 100% replaceable, however, you can never touch management - those that are Directors or above. I’d like to see “management” do half the work non management takes on. Be prepared to be told “no” when you come up with new ideas or propose suggestions. You will get the response “leadership does not agree or support that.” This is because leadership is stuck in 1990, but with updated technology. HR is a joke and needs to be evaluated by an outside consulting firm or get a new leader to clean house.

Pros

Strong engineering culture with exposure to large-scale financial systems, distributed architecture, and production-critical platforms. Good opportunities to learn modern cloud, performance, and reliability engineering.

Cons

Bureaucracy and internal politics can sometimes outweigh technical merit. Employees who take ownership or challenge inefficiencies may face delayed recognition, unclear growth paths, and shifting expectations, leading to frustration and disengagement over time.
